I’m running as much as I wanted now. I’m still recovering from a tendonitis and won’t have too much time from this Friday on because I’ll be travelling abroad for 20 days. So, not much to say here about running, right?

That’s why this time I wanted to put a recipe here. A dish I like doing and it very easy to prepare. It’s an Orecchiette with sausage (Orechiette is a type of pasta and it looks like a shell).

 

All you need is:

Orechiette pasta

Pork sausage

Cherry tomatoes

Broccoli

Olive oil

Oregano, Basil, etc

 

It’s very simple to prepare. You start by frying the sausage and slicing it after it’s done. Meanwhile, you steam the broccoli (slice it after done) and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Also, boil the water for the pasta and make sure to prepare it after everything else is done.

When the pasta is done, put everything in the pan (sausage, broccoli, tomato), add some olive oil, oregano and basil. I don’t add salt, but you can if needed. That’s it!

Enjoy your meal!

 

On April 10th we celebrated our sixth year together as a couple. Dates like this are a good opportunity to visit a new restaurant in the city. This time we went to Nonno Ruggero, one of the restaurants of Fasano.

No reservations made so we left my house a little early in order to avoid waiting for a table. The strategy did work and a table for two was available at a nice place at the restaurant, near the salad buffet! 🙂

We chose a bottle of red wine and went to the buffet table to serve. We got some tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, lettuce, parmesan cheese, peaches, parma ham, palm tree etc.

After another round of this delicious things, we got the menu to order our dish.

Here’s something curious about ourselves: we never order the same dish. Why? Just to taste two different dishes of the menu.

Both dishes were nicely done, tasted beautifully and made this day even better than it was so far.

One of the things I like doing, besides running, is having a good meal. Sometimes I go to a restaurant or a snack bar, sometimes I do it at home.

Last weekend I would go to the beach, instead I had to stay and work during Saturday. Before knowing my plans had failed, my fianceé went to the supermarket and bought us food for that weekend. We wanted to have a nice burger sandwich.

She bought a 200g rump steak burger, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. This is our basic and favorite combination. No eggs, bacon, etc. Just that.

You grill the burger, melt the cheese on it, chop the tomatoes and lettuce. Put on a nice bread and eat.
